“Fuck, that feels good,” I groaned.

Kaylani released me and crawled up my body, fully in control. She straddled me, taking what she wanted as she sank down onto my cock. My hands found her hips as she rode me. Her breasts bounced, nipples hard, hands braced on my abs, her eyes locked on mine.

I’d been lost to her for years.

I could die right now and be the happiest man alive, having known this kind of love and passion.

“Oh…God, yes…” she moaned, and my entire body tensed.

“Fuck,” I growled.

I sat up and wrapped my arms around her just before she came, sucking her nipple into my mouth. Kaylani jerked as she climaxed, and that was enough to push me over the edge.

We held each other, refusing to let go as our breathing slowly steadied.

Kaylani’s lips brushed my neck, my cheek, then my mouth.

“Who was that?”

I didn’t want to tell her.

“You sounded tense,” she added with a teasing smirk.

I kissed her and rolled us over, pinning her hands above her head. She laughed, eyes bright and wild with passion.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.” She studied my face. “So why do you look worried?”

Lacing our fingers, I kissed her again instead of answering. I memorized the shape of her lips, holding onto this version of us before the world forced her walls back up.

When I finally let her breathe, her lips were swollen, cheeks flushed, and eyes glassy.

“Now tell me. Who was on the phone?”

Bracing for her reaction, I met her gaze.

“Your father.”

The warmth vanished instantly.

I rolled onto my back, staring at the ceiling, hating everything about this situation.

Why couldn’t I have been born worthy of her?

Kaylani sat up, pulling the blanket around herself like armor.

“How did he know to call you?”

“I don’t know. But you did shut off your phone last night so I assume he thought you were with Nathaniel.”

“What did he want?”

“He wants me to escort you to lunch,” I said, turning my head to look at her. “With Julian…and he’s not coming.”

Her jaw tightened. “Of course he’s not. Coward.”

I reached for her, but she had already pulled away. Lani stood, the softness from moments ago replaced by steel. She paced the room with the blanket wrapped tightly around her.
